Release Types

Current: Under active development. Code for the Current release is in the
branch for its major version number (for example,
v10.x). Node.js releases a new
major version every 6 months, allowing for breaking changes. This happens in
April and October every year. Releases appearing each October have a support
life of 8 months. Releases appearing each April convert to LTS (see below)
each October.

LTS: Releases that receive Long-term Support, with a focus on stability
and security. Every even-numbered major version will become an LTS release.
LTS releases receive 18 months of Active LTS support and a further 12 months
of Maintenance. LTS release lines have alphabetically-ordered codenames,
beginning with v4 Argon. There are no breaking changes or feature additions,
except in some special circumstances.

Nightly: Code from the Current branch built every 24-hours when there are
changes. Use with caution.

The latest directory is an
alias for the latest Current release. The latest-codename directory is an
alias for the latest release from an LTS line. For example, the
latest-carbon directory
contains the latest Carbon (Node.js 8) release.
